In South Africa, Gandhiji faced many discriminations directed at Indians.

Traveling farther on by stagecoach he was beaten by a driver for refusing to travel on the foot board to make room for a European passenger. These events were a turning point in his life and insisted him to launch the 'Civil Rights Movement' in South Africa from 1893-1914.
